Helio Drift - CNET

Helio-Drift.jpg

A review of the compact Helio Drift slider handset from Samsung has been posted on CNET. 'At first glance, the Helio Drift seems a lot like the other Samsung sliders we've seen. In fact, we found it reminiscent of the Samsung SCH-U420 Nimbus in terms of size and style. On closer inspection, however, we noticed the Drift has rounder edges and softer contours, resulting in a very comfortable feel in the hand. And while we wouldn't call it sleek, it's still quite an attractive handset with its all-black exterior. Measuring 3.8x1.8x0.7 inches and weighing 3.53 ounces, the Drift is compact, lightweight, and easily fits in a pocket or a purse. There is a slight lip underneath the screen that acts as an anchor when sliding the phone open and closed, though you can open the phone by simply pushing the bottom end of the phone upwards. The sliding mechanism was really smooth, and we found that we could open and close the phone with one hand.'
